Cyril
Luxey was born in Nice, France in 1971. He received the
DEA (Master degree 1996) and the Ph.D. degree in electrical
engineering (1999), both with honors (Summa Cum Laude), from the
University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, France. During his thesis,
he worked on several antenna-solutions for car applications like
printed leaky-wave antennas, quasi-optical mixers and
retrodirective transponders. From 2000 to 2002, he was with
Alcatel, Mobile Phone Division, Colombes, France, where he was
involved in the design of internal antennas for commercial
mobile phones. In 2003, he was recruited as an Associate
Professor at the Polytechnic school of the University of Nice
Sophia-Antipolis to teach electromagnetics, antennas and RF
microelectronics. Since 2009, he is a Full Professor at the IUT
Réseaux et Télécoms in Sophia-Antipolis where he is the head of
a technical bachelor degree. He is also the co-supervisor of the
EPIB team. In October 2010, he has been appointed as a Junior
Member of the “Institut Universitaire de France (IUF)” for five
years. His current research interests include the design and
measurement of Millimeter-wave antennas, electrically small
antennas, antennas in-package, multi-antenna systems for
diversity and MIMO techniques, antennas for biomedical
applications, plastronic solutions for small communicating
devices. Cyril Luxey is an IEEE Senior Member. He is an
associate editor for IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation
Letters, a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and
Propagation, the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters,
the IET Electronics Letters journals and several European and US
conferences in the field of microwave, antennas, propagation
(EuCAP, EuMC, IEEE-APS, IWAT, LAPC, VTC etc…). Cyril Luxey and
his students received the H.W. Wheeler Award of the IEEE
Antennas and Propagation Society for the best application paper
of the year 2006. He is the co-recipient of the best paper of
the EUCAP2007 conference. He is also the co-recipient of the
best-paper award of the International Workshop on Antenna
Technology (iWAT2009) and the co-recipient of the LAPC 2012 best
paper. Cyril Luxey has authored or co-authored more than 200
papers in refereed journals, in international and national
conferences and as book chapters. He has been the general
co-chair of the Loughborough Antennas and Propagation Conference
2011. He is a lecturer in the European School of Antennas for
the “Industrial Antennas” course.
